Vi\u1ec7t Nam has been moving towards building a sustainable wood processing industry that\u00a0uses\u00a0legal materials in accordance with international and Vietnamese law as well as regulations of major export markets like the US, EU and Japan<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The statement was released by Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development H\u00e0 C\u00f4ng Tu\u1ea5n at a conference held by the American Hardwood Export Council and the Vi\u1ec7t Nam Timber and Forest Product Association in H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Tu\u1ea5n said Vi\u1ec7t Nam\u2019s wood products had\u00a0been exported to\u00a0120 countries and territories, of which the US is its most important market.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the country\u2019s exports of wood and forest products reached US$9.4 billion, about 42 per cent of which came from the US.<\/p>\n

Tu\u1ea5n said Vi\u1ec7t Nam also imported large quantities of timber and wood products from the US. Vi\u1ec7t Nam is currently the top\u00a0destination for US\u00a0hardwood in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

In the first five months of this year, the country imported US$138 million of timber and forest products from the US, an increase of 24.9 per cent compared to the same period in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe potential to export\u00a0even more US hardwood to Vi\u1ec7t Nam is very big,\u201d Tu\u1ea5n said.<\/p>\n

Tu\u1ea5n said the US\u00a0product had confirmed its important place in\u00a0Vi\u1ec7t Nam\u2019s forest product processing and export\u00a0industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make processing wood and forest products a key economic sector, we need co-ordination from the US, especially from suppliers of raw materials,\u201d\u00a0Tu\u1ea5n.\u00a0“The Vietnamese wood industry aims to be transparent and apply good production processes to ensure sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cVi\u1ec7t Nam\u2019s wood export is currently ranked fifth in the world, ranking second in Asia. It can not rest on these achievements but must aspire to develop further, applying science, advanced technology and experience as well as expanding co-operation with the US in this field.”<\/p>\n

According to Nguy\u1ec5n T\u00f4n Quy\u1ec1n, Deputy Chairman of the Vi\u1ec7t Nam Timber and Forest Product Association, the US has one of the largest forest areas in the world, with output of more than\u00a0300 million cu.m per year. US wood is guaranteed to be of traceable, legal origins and good quality. It has competitive prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these advantages and over 20 commercial timber species, American wood is always the first choice for Vietnamese importers,\u201d Quy\u1ec1n said.<\/p>\n

Quy\u1ec1n said Vi\u1ec7t Nam had signed many free trade agreements, in which it committed to processing only legal timber.<\/p>\n

Robert Hanson, Head of the Foreign Agricultural Service of the US Embassy in Vi\u1ec7t Nam, said Vi\u1ec7t Nam had accounted for 77 per cent of the US\u2019s wood exports to Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Hanson\u00a0said the Forest Law\u00a0<\/em>Enforcement Governance and Trade Voluntary Partnership Agreement (FLEGT-VPA) between Vi\u1ec7t Nam and the European Union has taken effect to ensure the legality and sustainability of Vietnamese wood products. Under the agreement, Vi\u1ec7t Nam will give priority to importing wood materials from sustainable and legal sources.<\/p>\n

Quy\u1ec1n said Vi\u1ec7t Nam\u2019s forest product processing industry had rapidly and stably developed in recent years, not only meeting domestic demand for wood products but also moving towards sustainable exports.<\/p>\n

There are now 5,000 enterprises involved in the production and processing of wood products (excluding households and small businesses), about 1,800 more\u00a0than there were\u00a0five years ago.<\/p>\n

Vi\u1ec7t Nam has halted the exploitation of natural forests for three years and has been pushing forestation. The 3.5 million hectares planted for\u00a0future exploitation will provide about 35 to 40 million cu.m of timber in the next five to 10 years.<\/p>\n

The Vietnamese Government set a target for the forest products sector to reach $11 billion in exports this year. To help, the Government has committed to\u00a0creating good conditions for businesses, including domestic and foreign invested enterprises.<\/p>\n

At the conference, the organisers also explained the classification system for US wood to designers, processors and importers. The conference also served as a chance for Vietnamese and US businesses to explore future co-operation opportunities.<\/p>\n
